[haranguerer]

Dunno whose right or wrong but its so sad for the Kercher family

That two people are cleared of her murder?

I have followed this story with a keen interest, and still don't know whats right or wrong. Feel for both parties

I was convinced Knox did it, have to say I am still suspicious. Seems political pressure and lots of money can go a very long way. Then again, the Italians did release her.

Even if convicted there is no way the yanks are handing her over at this stage.

Once she got on the plane out of Italy after being freed on retrial it was all over, there is no way the US will extradite one of its citizens back to Italy.  She may be found guilty in her absence, but won't matter a damn.

If she is guilty, she has to live with her conscience for the rest of her life.

Breaking news -


(Reuters) - Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi declared on Tuesday that he was resigning because he did not agree with last week's decision to send two marines back to India to face trial for murder.

"I can no longer be part of this government and I announce my resignation," Terzi said during testimony to the lower house of parliament. "My reservations about sending the marines back to India were not listened to."

Mario Monti's caretaker government on Friday reversed a March 11 decision not to send the marines back to face trial for the murder of two Indian fisherman during anti-piracy duty on a commercial tanker in February 2012.

Was this affair one of those threesomes that a certain social media site was warning us all about?

AN ITALIAN COURT has convicted American Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito for a second time for the murder of a British student in Perugia in 2007.
The court sentenced Knox to 28 years and six months in prison and Sollecito to 25 years for the murder of Meredith Kercher, over two years after Knox was released from prison.
She and Sollecito had served four years in prison.
Their convictions were overturned in October 2011, but the Italian criminal justice system does not preclude double jeopardy.
Today, after nearly 12 hours of deliberations, an appeals court reinstated the original verdicts for the pair.
Solecito was in court this morning, but did not return for the verdict. Knox, meanwhile, was in America with, in her words "her heart in her throat".
The verdict raises the possibility of a lengthy legal battle between the US and Italy. If Italy submits an extradition request, the US will have to decide if the request falls under the extradition treaty, but even then, there is no guarantee they would send the 26-year-old to Italy.
An Ivorian drifter, Rudy Guede is currently serving a 16-year term for Kercher's murder.

A joke that USA won't send her back to serve her sentence ?

In Italy people seem to get sentenced to jail terms but don't always have to actually go to prison ?

So are they going to release Guede, or was he implicated along with the other two?
